Tale of Two Dash Pads (Consumer Review)

Tale of Two Dash Pads (Consumer Review) - 06/10/19 04:10 AM

The old saying, "you get what you pay for" certainly applies to my experience with purchasing two different dash pads for my 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner.

Initial Purchase: The Motor Company's Dash Pad (EBAY: Motorco18013) $219, shipping included
Pros: Cost, looks great, "high quality feel"
Cons: doesn't fit correctly, mounting studs defective, vendor refused to stand by product, doesn't have metal core, a bit heavy

Secondary Purchase: Dante's Mopar Parts Dash Pad, $320, shipping extra
Pros: looks great, light weight, metal core, fits as it should
Cons: Higher Cost

Dan,
Glad to here the pad you received from me fit much better and the review you did was excellent. Hopefully that helps folks in the future.

Good video thanks for posting it. I see dash pads sold in colors elsewhere. I wonder if these are the good ones or not?
